Young Norman Rockwell had a knack for drawing and a big dream: He wanted to be a famous artist.

How best to do that? Rockwell (1894-1978) decided to draw people in pleasant orhumorous real-life situations that everyone could relate to. Scenes such as a postman reading the mail, children dancing or ladies playing cards touched mostpeople.

He took special care to paint detail, capturing the models' expressions as if t

hey were photographs.

"I could never be satisfied with just the approval of the critics . or a small group of kindred souls," he wrote in "My Adventures As An Illustrator."
